The City of Meridian is committed to ensuring quick access to life-saving equipment in emergencies. Through our AED Loaner Program, individuals and organizations can check out Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) from Fire Administration for temporary use.
Our AED Loaner Program provides businesses, community organizations, and event organizers with temporary access to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), ensuring life-saving technology is always within reach.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, and having an AED on hand can mean the difference between life and death.
Our program makes it easy and affordable to equip your location or event with this critical device, giving you peace of mind and the ability to respond effectively in an emergency.
